» Feature Writer Anthony Lee - Do you see it as a big problem?


Even with a physician who truly cares and knows what is best for the patient, one barrier still exists: medical illiteracy. Just a lack of basic medical knowledge alone can prevent people from taking their medications as instructed or follow other advice. What do you think is behind medical illiteracy? What can we do about it?
